Permie to Contractor notice period
Update Update Thought i'd give you an update if anyone was interested and for anyone reading this post in the future. In the end I handed my notice in with no contract to go to. Scary but its something i'd been advised to do from agencies and fellow contractors. I had a 4 week notice period...- Daveitcont

Permie to Contractor notice period
Sarcasm aside, I suppose I don't see my permanent contract in the same way as one that I will get through my ltd company. If my current employer wanted me gone, I'd be on garden leave tomorrow, no messing. So 'breaching a contract' is technically correct but a little strong in my view. I just...- Daveitcont

Permie to Contractor notice period
Encouragement is the wrong word, I asked a question and I got a lot of negativity about how difficulty it is, I don't seem ready, are you sure it's for you etc etc. :confused:- Daveitcont

Permie to Contractor notice period
I looked at jobserve earlier and with searching just for VMware contracts in London, 109 showed up. Without looking at all of them, a large number match my skillset exactly. I know that the move will be difficult but it seems very negative on here. I am realistic and not expecting to walk into...- Daveitcont

My skillet is VMware (vcp5), hyper v, Citrix (CCA-V), VDI, windows server 2000-2012 r2 and some desktop bits. Pretty varied, but more focused on virtualisation.- Daveitcont

Permie to Contractor notice period
I think I've confused matters. My question is "does anyone have experience moving from permie to contractor and not working all their notice period for their permie role"? I don't want to work my 4 week notice period. What I really want is to apply for contracts, hopefully get one, then hand my...- Daveitcont

Permie to Contractor notice period
So would your suggestion be save up to cover at least 3 months of bills etc and then try for a contract? What is the norm? I will contract after my permanent role so it's the notice period I need some real advice on. Thanks for your reply.- Daveitcont

Permie to Contractor notice period
Hi all, I am a permie hoping to move into contracting. I'm a bit uncertain about one thing though, my notice period. I have a 4 week notice period with my job but I can't hand my notice in without having somewhere to go (mortgage, bills etc). Quick start times for contracts seem to be the...- Daveitcont

Do i need to pay myself!?
Strange question here. I have created a Ltd company but I am also in full time employment. I want to see how it goes before I do anything drastic like leaving my current job. However, I may start to earn some money with the Ltd company in the near future. This would be weekend or out of hours...- Daveitcont

Agency Contracts inside IR35
Obviously I am being presumptuous according to a few replies and for that I'm sorry. Thank you Wanderer for your reply it was very helpful. To answer a couple of questions: I go to work for money. As far as I can see, the potential is there to earn more money contracting than permanent jobs...- Daveitcont

Agency Contracts inside IR35
Hi Everyone, I am currently a permie but giving serious consideration to contracting. I suppose it boils down to the attractiveness of earning more money. However, all I see when I research contracting is 'watch out for IR35!' Having read up on IR35 and understanding it as much as a layman can...- Daveitcont
